The club claims that, as of Monday night, 10k season ticket holders are yet to buy for Saturday.

Why would the club make such a disingenuous claim - assuming they actually did, not seen it it anywhere - other than to try and deflect from the fact that they appeared to make it as difficult as possible for the majority of season ticket holders to claim their usual seat?

Its a quote from Barber last night "With well over 10,000 season ticket holders yet to buy, it would be excellent if we could sell out yet another home fixture"

Its both true - i guess their records show that 10K STHolders are still not assigned to tickets purchased for Saturday - and not true, On other hand, many tickets sold were unassigned and were purchased on behalf of ST holders. Still guess there must be a sizeable, 1000s in fact, number of ST holders who aren't tempted by the match for various reasons. (take your pick)
